Facteurs de risque

• Break-even risk: 5–10 months can slip if revenue falls below the $12,600 monthly floor.
• Demand sensitivity risk: lower-end profit margin may not cover fixed costs if only part of the $4,512–$10,092 range is achieved.
• Competitive pressure: 9 nearby competitors can force price/offer changes and reduce average order value.
• Limited purchasing power risk: GDP/capita of $1,773 may constrain premium pricing and affect repeat purchase frequency.
• Operational scaling risk: as volume rises, supply, staffing, and waste control may impact margins within the $4512–$10092 profit band.

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate local menu demand in Kaolack with a 2-week pilot and track daily sales, average spend, and repeat customers.
2. Secure reliable food supply and pricing (fuel, ingredients, packaging) to protect the profit range and avoid margin volatility.
3. Launch with 2–3 high-velocity items plus rotating specials, optimizing preparation time to maximize daily throughput.
4. Choose a high-footfall brick-and-mortar site near nightlife/markets and run location-specific promotions to stand out from 9 nearby competitors.

6. Build repeat demand with a loyalty mechanic (stamps/WhatsApp promos) targeted at commuters and evening crowds.
